1. Overview

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of TaxBookkeeping.ai (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who we serve

TaxBookkeeping.ai is designed for individuals and self‑employed users who want help organizing bookkeeping information and preparing to work with a tax professional. The Service is intended for use in the United States and is based on U.S. tax concepts.

3. No tax or legal advice

The Service uses AI models and other automation to help you organize information, understand bookkeeping concepts, and prepare for tax filing. However:

• The Service does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice.
• Use of the Service does not create a CPA‑client, attorney‑client, or other professional relationship between you and TaxBookkeeping.ai.
• You are responsible for reviewing outputs and consulting your own tax professional before filing any tax return or making financial decisions.

4. Your responsibilities

• Provide accurate and complete information when you use the Service (for example, when you upload documents or describe your income and expenses).
• Maintain the security of your account and promptly notify us if you suspect unauthorized access.
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations when you use the Service.

5. Acceptable use

7. AI and accuracy

The Service relies on AI models and other automated systems. While we work to improve quality, AI‑generated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated.

• Do not rely on any single response as the sole basis for important decisions.
